Prayer for joy

Hello. I feel very drained today at work. I feel very bothered by my co-workers and very apathetic. I guess I get this mood like once a month and I feel totally zapped. I try and be productive and make the most of each day because each day truly is a blessing but I don't feel today is a blessing. Pray for my joy to come back and for all those that feel depressed today. God Bless.

Holy and Joyful Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:

You show me the path of life; in your presence there is fulness of joy. (Ps 16:11)

So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. (Jn 16:22)

You will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. (Jn 16:20)

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. (Lk 6:23)

When a woman is in labor, she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world. (Jn 16:21)

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. (Mt 13:44)

Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master. (Mt 25:21)

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. (Jn 15:11)

But now I am coming to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. (Jn 17:13)

Until now you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (Jn 16:24)

You have made known to me the ways of life; you make me full of joy with your presence. (Acts 2:28)

+In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
